Dessert Shots

I love multi-taskers, don’t you? Finding a food multi-tasker is a little tricky. Let’s talk about dessert. What do you want in a dessert? Me? Usually chocolate. If I have chocolate, then I want coffee too. So, chocolate and coffee. Oh, and maybe an aperitif. So, chocolate, coffee, and and aperitif. That’s not asking for too much.

What if I told you that I found a dessert that was all three? All three rolled up into one amazing little dessert. Impressed? And, what if I told you it was incredibly easy? What if I told you that guests would be licking their little shot glasses clean?!

Chocolate Coffee Dessert Shots

Well, here you go. Chocolate and Coffee Espresso Shots. These are so easy and so seriously good! They call for either chocolate or coffee liqueur – I used my homemade coffee liqueur, though I could have also used my homemade chocolate liqueur. I am sure it’s equally good with either chocolate or coffee liqueur, I encourage you to make it both ways and see which your prefer. A sort of science experiment.

Believe me, when you see how easy this is, it will become your go-to dessert, especially for parties, since it’s an easy make ahead dessert.
